APEC Dept: There s a whole lot of stuff going on and it needs a high-level kick in the rear to get moving, one Canadian government official said, according to Globe and Mail. He ll spend six days travelling through the country of 1.2 billion people, and unlike last time, this visit isn t tacked onto the itinerary after an APEC summit and for all Ottawa s efforts, these discussions have failed to bear sufficient fruit in a country that is merely Canada s 15th-largest trading partner today, despite an Indian immigrant population here of more than a million. The Prime Minister is devoting close to twice the amount of time to this trip as to his 2009 visit. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
